“Doctor Who” star Matt Smith joins TODAY to talk about his role as Daemon Targaryen in the new season of HBO’s “House of the Dragon' — and he discusses taking on various iconic roles in the realm of fantasy and royalty over the years.
🚨Warning: This story contains spoilers for “House of the Dragon” Season Two and George R. R. Martin’s “Fire & Blood.” If we had a nickel for every time Matt Smith played a begrudged consort to a queen learning to step into her power ... we’d have two nickels. In “House of the Dragon” Season Two, tensions between Rhaenyra , queen of the Black faction in the Targaryen civil war, and her husband, Daemon , are ever growing.
He also continues to spiral inside the cursed walls of the stronghold, fantasizing about being told by his mother that he’s stronger, braver and more capable of being king than his brother Viserys. Meanwhile, Rhaenyra struggles to maintain authority as her husband knows she is inexperienced in the minutiae of war. But she resolves not to send for Daemon. “For too long I have looked to him for strength,” she tells her informant Mysaria.
